Egg Count for Kittycooks Hens

This egg production record cronicles a flock of eight hens hatched April 12, 2010. They live cage free with supervised free range. They eat free choice Purina Layena and a small amount of scratch grains once a day with frequent insects and greens. Three Buff Orphingtons lay the large oval shaped brown eggs and one silver laced wyandotte lays the extra large pear shaped tan eggs. The blue eggs come from Bunny, our easter egger, and the small tan eggs come from three black silkie hens (two bearded and one non-bearded). While there was some sporadic laying starting in October 2010 through mid December when they had their first molt, the official record begins on January 9, 2011.
